French guard Sylvain Francisco is enjoying the strongest season of his professional career with Zalgiris Kaunas in the EuroLeague and is now planning to look into opportunities to return to the NBA this summer, according to Aris Barkas of Eurohoops.
The 28-year-old guard is expected to explore the NBA market once the season ends.
Barkas reports that Francisco’s contract with the Lithuanian club includes a “manageable” buyout clause, which could make a potential move to the NBA more realistic if a team shows interest.
Francisco has been a major contributor for Zalgiris throughout the 2025/26 EuroLeague campaign.
In 31 games, he has averaged 17.0 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds while playing 26.8 minutes per contest.
He has also been efficient offensively, shooting .460 from the field, .410 from three-point range, and .791 from the free throw line.
